The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2009, Hugo XX Summer Edition by Hugo Boss captures the essence of summer with its refreshing and sensual composition. The fragrance opens with melon, a burst of fruity freshness that transitions into the heart notes of apricot and jasmine, creating an irresistible blend of sweetness and floral charm. Sandalwood provides a woody base that adds warmth and depth, grounding the lighter top notes in a creamy, powdery finish. This limited edition summer scent is designed to evoke the playful game of opposites between man and woman, combining crispness with sensuality.
Apply this fragrance in light sprays to avoid overwhelming its delicate balance. The top notes are fleeting but impactful, so aim for areas that will benefit from the initial burst of fruitiness, like the wrists or neck. The base notes develop over time, making it perfect for a day out where you want a subtle yet charming presence.
